When to use
- Labeled inputs, selects, text areas and code entry with optional hint text under the control
- Preference and permission lists where every switch or checkbox has a title and a description
- Validation states with a red label and one error, or a list of them, under the control
When not to use
- A complete page for entering or editing a record, such as an invoice or a profile: use the Form blocks
- A full page of toggle rows for alert channels, app integrations or workspace options: use the Settings blocks
- A numeric value stepped with plus and minus buttons or scrubbed by dragging: use the Number Field component
Agent notes
FieldTitleis a plain div, so aCheckboxorSwitchtitled only by it has no accessible name; point aFieldLabelat its id insteaddata-invalidonFieldonly sets a red text color, which its label inherits; the control turns red from aria-invalid, which no example sets- Nothing ties
FieldDescriptionorFieldErrorto the control; give them ids and list those in the control's aria-describedby

Shadcn Field is a wrapper component for composing accessible form fields with labels, descriptions, and error states, built on Radix UI components that stays compatible with Base UI composition, while using Tailwind-friendly styles. It is fully compatible with Shadcn Create style options, so radius, fonts, and theme tokens from the create flow apply consistently to previews and exported UI.
It combines label, control, hint text, and error messaging so form inputs stay properly labeled and validation feedback is clear.
ReUI lists field components inside realistic forms and workflows so you can judge spacing, validation density, and integration with Shadcn Input, Shadcn Checkbox, and other controls next to complete form layouts, not only isolated stories. The sections below explain what the component is, why teams adopt it, which features matter, and how it pairs with form libraries.
What is Shadcn Field?
In UI terms, a field is a labeled input control with optional hint text and error messaging. Shadcn Field wraps these elements in a semantic container that follows accessibility conventions from Radix UI and fits teams that also use Base UI-style unstyled building blocks.
Components here show vertical stacked fields, horizontal label-control alignment, responsive fields that stack on mobile, and grouped fields with separators. They are meant to answer whether your product needs simple input groups, complex multi-control layouts, or validation-rich forms, with styling that respects Shadcn Create options end to end.
Why Use Shadcn Field?
Composing forms correctly requires label association, proper spacing, and validation feedback. Shadcn Field handles layout and semantics so you focus on field content. Teams use it for every input, checkbox, select, and textarea to ensure consistency.
Pair fields with React Hook Form or TanStack Form for state and validation management. Use Shadcn Input, Shadcn Checkbox, Shadcn Select, and other controls inside Field. Group related fields with FieldGroup and FieldSeparator. Show validation errors with data-invalid and FieldError for clear user feedback.
Shadcn Field Features
- Label Association. FieldLabel automatically associates with controls via htmlFor, ensuring screen readers announce labels correctly and clicks focus inputs.
- Layout Orientations. Use vertical (default) for mobile-first stacking or horizontal for side-by-side label and control. Set orientation="responsive" for automatic column layout on containers.
- Validation Feedback. Add data-invalid to Field to switch to error state. Use FieldError to display error messages that stay visually linked to the control.
- Helper Text. Use FieldDescription for hints, requirements, or examples. It appears below the label and helps users understand what input is expected.
- Field Grouping. Use FieldGroup to stack multiple fields and FieldSeparator to divide sections, maintaining consistent spacing and visual hierarchy.
Integrating with Other Components
Wrap Shadcn Input, Shadcn Select, Shadcn Textarea, and Shadcn Combobox components inside Field with FieldLabel, FieldDescription, and error states to create accessible form layouts.
Use Shadcn Checkbox and Shadcn Radio Group inside Field for multi-select and exclusive-choice forms. Group related checkboxes with FieldGroup for visual organization.
Stack fields with FieldGroup and add FieldSeparator to divide logical form sections. Combine with Shadcn Button for submit and reset actions at the end of the form.
